GENERAL INFORMATION

Because admission requirements vary significantly in different institutions
and from one health science to another (e.g., Dentistry,
Dental Hygiene, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy), interested students
are advised to plan carefully and early.

The Career Planning Centre, located on the, 4th floorl, Room
4002 of the University Centre, can provide advice or, in some instances,
arrange for students to contact other sources of more detailed information.
The Centre maintains considerable information on careers in the various
health fields, including guides and university calendars outlining where
the programs of study are available and their entrance requirements. Interested
students should consult these materials as early as possible, preferably
before the Orientation Week interview and first-year registration.

After having consulted the Career Planning Centre, students who require
further advice about dentistry prerequisites should consult Dr. Faye
Murrin, Department of Biology (S4109) who has agreed to act as the
faculty advisor for pre-dental students.
